Hoosier Crossroads Top Player Performances of the Week

Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!

Ashton Carter Delivers Electric Effort Vs Noblesville

Starting off the list is Avon's Ashton Carter, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carter rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.

Carter and Avon will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Brownsburg at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st. Carter will face off against Brady Lewis, the Bulldogs' star RB. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

King Posts Huge Game in 44-7 Victory

Deacon King's big game helped extend Westfield's winning streak to three on Friday. Franklin Central had no answer to King as he rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. King's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 105 rushing yards.

Westfield's win was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-1. King and Westfield will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Harrison at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Gamescore: 28.20

Carsen Melvin Makes It Two for Westfield

Keeping King company is Carsen Melvin, a fellow Westfield player. He threw for 241 yards and two touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

For the season, Melvin has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 155.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 6.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 17.11 rushing yards.

Alex Burke Dazzles in Brownsburg Loss

Brownsburg was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Alex Burke did his best to prevent it. Burke turned in nothing short of a gem, making 11 total tackles (3.0 for loss) and defending a pass.

If history really does repeat itself, Burke might just drop another big game when he faces off against Avon on Friday. Burke picked up 1.5 sacks, forced a fumble, and made eight total tackles (3.5 for loss) the last time he and the Orioles duked it out back in September.

A Season-Best Performance from Makyi Hines Leads Avon over Noblesville

Avon was led to victory by Makyi Hines, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Hines made 19 total tackles.

This season, Hines has averaged 10.2 total tackles per game.
